Linda Ruth Wheeldon and Agnieszka Konopka explain how speakers turn intended messages into grammatically organized utterances. Their survey concentrates on grammatical encoding, the stage of speech planning at which words and syntactic structures are assembled for expression.
The book compares accounts of lexical and structural processing and considers the evidence for different relationships between them. It asks how much of a sentence speakers plan before they begin talking, how planning proceeds incrementally, and how the properties of an intended message influence the organization of an utterance.
Experimental findings are placed alongside the theoretical models they test, allowing readers to follow both the disagreements and the shared questions in this field. The result is an introduction to the cognitive processes behind fluent speech, with attention to representations, timing and the coordination of grammatical choices during ordinary language production.
